The Lights of Our Heritage

The carriage light out by the front door needs replaced. I realized that as I was coming in tonight. Sometimes there are just things you look at day in and day out to the point where you are not really even seeing them anymore. Today something made me take a second look, so I added a new carriage lamp to my house shopping list. The shutters and the wood blinds for the back room are already on there. The list just has the little things I can buy and replace or install on my own, without hiring someone or making my brother-in-law come down and donate slave labor.
I saw that the Smithsonian Institution commissioned a whole line of fixtures by kichler lighting and since I am absolutely into quality reproductions, I decided to take a look at the collection. Of course, growing up in DC and spending countless weekends wander the Smithsonian museums means that anything endorsed by them makes me stop and take notice. I love our nation’s heritage and adding little touches to the house that sing the praises of days gone by is right up my alley. Little by little, this place is coming together.
